Fig. 1From: Stabilization of RDT target antigens present in dried Plasmodium falciparum-infected samples for validating malaria rapid diagnostic tests at the point of careMean percentage increase in stability of HRP2 antigen in stabilized samples (chemical additive added) compared to the control samples (no chemical additive added). Error bars: indicate mean and standard error of the mean. a The percentage increase in stability of pLDH and aldolase in stabilized samples at 2000 p/µL. b Indicates stabilized samples at 500 p/µL. c Shows stabilized samples at 200 p/µL. Suc sucrose, Gly/Suc glycerol combined with sucrose, Als/Suc Alsever’s solution combined with sucrose, Treh trehalose, Suc/Treh sucrose combined with trehalose, Gly/Treh glycerol combined with trehalose, Treh/Bio trehalose combined with biostab enzyme stabilizer, Bio/Suc biostab enzyme stabilizer combined with sucrose, LDH stab lactose dehydrogenase stabilizer, LDH stab/Treh lactose dehydrogenase stabilizer combined with trehaloseBack to article page
